'Her Words Destroyed My Planet' is the second single of Motion City Soundtrack's fourth studio album, 'My Dinosaur Life' (hitting stores Jan. 19). Judging by the song's title, I'm sure you guessed the single's about, yep, a traumatizing break-up, specifically frontman Justin Pierre had with his ex-girlfriend about three years ago. The breakup initially caused Pierre to "spiral out of control" yet enabled him to "start over from scratch." So that got him thinking: How different would his life be if she had not broken his heart? Obviously he is happy the way things turned out, but the song plays with the concept that people can blame one incident for their life's outcome: "If we'd only stayed together / I might not have fallen apart / But the words you said destroyed my planet / I stall before I start." Check out the new single on AOL Radio's New Alt First station.
